Indianapolis Newborn

your indianapolis newborn photographer

you need to feel comfortable and relaxed throughout! How you feel when you are having your photos taken heavily impacts how you view the final photos you see. I provide a joyful and relaxing experience—whether that it be in your own home or at my studio in downtown Indianapolis—while capturing the effortless connections within your family. 

The days that you have been dreaming of are finally here! Your mornings are now filled with the sweetest baby cuddles and the tiniest fingers and toes. But before you know it your little baby is going to be all grown up, so I want to help you preserve the precious memories of those first few days.

As a NICU physical therapist, I understand the importance of a baby-led experience to keep your precious little one as comfortable as possible. I follow his or her cues, and never under estimate the power of a diaper change, small snack, or comforting swaddle. You will feel relaxed in the comfort of your home and be overwhelmed with love for your baby. 

In order to have those authentic, joyful photos who capture who your family truly is…

“Caitlyn is amazing! She did a wonderful job with our newborn photos and made us feel so comfortable the entire time. She was so great with our daughter and was flexible with what she needed throughout the session. She is so kind and bubbly and made it all fun. We also received the photos so quickly and they are absolutely beautiful! We will treasure them forever. So glad we chose her and can't recommend her enough!”

Hi, I’m Caitlyn!

as a LIFESTYLE NEWBORN photographer and pediatric physical therapist, i understand the importance of following the lead of your little ones. i've perfected the art of brining out smiles so you to be present and enjoy the experience. 

Big moments and milestones are important, but it's the little in-between moments where life is truly lived. Each age brings new personality traits, favorite toys, and little quirks that you want to remember years from now. I am drawn to the unposed moments and effortless connections that showcase the uniqueness of your family.

Over the last 7 years I have loved being included in your most intimate, life changing moments and providing you with tangible memories for years to come.

While I'm based in Indianapolis and have a studio downtown, I offer in-home newborn photography in Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, Zionsville, Noblesville, McCordsville, Fortville, and Lawrence, Indiana, and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions

The sooner the better! My schedule fills up quickly, so I always suggest reserving a session date within the first 2 weeks of your anticipated due date!


hey Caitlyn! I just found out I’m pregnant! how soon should I schedule newborn portraits?

i’m ready to schedule! What time of day is best?

I always suggest scheduling your session from 10-11am for optimal lighting! Sessions can be scheduled on Tuesday, Friday, or Saturday mornings given availability.

uh oh, my due date came & went and baby is not here. can we reschedule?

Absolutely! Let me know once your little one arrives & I’ll send you my availability.

help! what do people wear?

Outfits can be extremely simple for mom and dad. I suggest sticking to neutrals (white, tan, jeans). You can have multiple outfits or swaddles for your baby, but I always suggest having a simple white outfit to start out with! I will also send a full style guide!

How do i prep my home for a newborn session?

Pick 2-3 rooms and clear them of anything you would not love to be in the background of your images. Most people choose the nursery, master bedroom, and living room.

i’m not set on a home session. can we do a studio?

Of course! I have access to a beautiful studio in downtown Indianapolis where we can still capture lifestyle newborn photos for your family!

”Caitlyn has captured our families most precious moments over this past year with perfection! She is always so much fun to work with and I recommend her to everyone I know who prefers light, crisp, and timeless photos. Additionally, she is magical with engaging children (and dogs) in family sessions. We will use her for many sessions to come as our family continues to grow. Communication with her is efficient and prompt and the turnaround time for photo edits is very reasonable. 10/10 recommend for all your photo needs!”
